Man...this disc installer blows. It's taken 30 mins so far and I'm only at 51%.

 

[Economan]

Can't get past error 37 now.
This could be it for me.

 

[oc]

First time I got in, I made a character and waited ~15 minutes. Closed the game, tried logging in and after about 5 minutes I got in and my character was there! woo!

 

[Ruken]

YOU KNOW WHAT
I WISH WE HAD SINGLE PLAYER TECHNOLOGY WHERE WE DIDN"T HAVE TO LOG ON TO THE INTERNET

 

[masud]

LOL, spot on

 

[Gotchaye]

Except that there's no problem. This is how it works. It's completely ridiculous to expect them to spent millions of dollars in infrastructure to buid out a system that can handle the needs of a <12 hour usage spike that is about 10 orders of magnitude higher than anything else the game will experience.

That seems to me to be missing the point. Blizzard could easily have designed the game so that people could play single player offline. They didn't, largely to prevent piracy and somewhat in order to encourage RMAH use. It's perfectly legitimate for people to be upset about Blizzard delivering a product that works less well than it could in order to add "features" that don't actually make the people who bought the game much better off.

At minimum, if you're going to force always-online in order to stop pirates, you really need to be going all-out to make sure that you're not inconveniencing paying customers.

[Johnlenham]

So whats changed since 8 hours ago when the eu killed it? Been asleep and I'm now in town waiting for the shops to open to get my copy...

 

[tycoonheart]

The fact that no one has posted about being in game and playing is a little disheartening.

 

[Charoncaori]

Really the games been out for like 30 minutes - a few hours. And everyone is connecting all at once and people are surprised that there are problems.

Goddam white people problems. It's amazing this thing is even out.

I don't think anyone here is surprised.
And I'm more annoyed over the "white people" comment than the server problems.

 

[fugimax]

Unfortunately for Blizzard, they've trained all of their fans to keep clicking the same thing over and over even when no positive reinforcement is given.

Not sure when the traffic will subside.

Ha!

 

[Ridli]

I'm in, but the rest of my battle crew is not... it is... conflicting :|

[Dresden]

i give up

dumb fucking idea to release on one single moment

 

[MacAttack]

Someday we'll all look back at this and have a good laugh.

RIGHT?!

 

[RuinerPrime]

it sucks that Diablo 3 is the first online game with server issues at launch

 

[Bringer Of Bacon]

what the FUCK blizzard!!!!! THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF THE END FOR BLIZZARD THIS IS THE WORST LAUNCH EVER FUCKING ALWAYS ONLINE WE WANT OFFLINE SINGLEPLAYER FUCK

 

[2Crisis]

The fact that no one has posted about being in game and playing is a little disheartening.

well Kripparian is already leveling... so I'd assume it IS up. Unless they are doing something weird.

 

[mandiller]

Error 37: The Game sure is fun. The positive of it is though that I'm off to work now and I won't feel so bad while I'm at work.

 

[goldensun]

Go to sleep already, Americans.

So you can log on without us trying to at the same time?

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

More like dumb fucking idea to prevent us from playing single-player offline. Use the servers to authenticate ID and only to authenticate ID.

 

[K.Sabot]

"Execute Error 37"

Shoutouts to LI Joe and other people like me that need to go to sleep.

 

[Hakkai]

[DirtyLary]

Here I am, at the office, and unable to play for the next eight hours.

Meh

Least you are getting paid to sit around.

I wish piracy was never an issue and the game industry was healthy. We can't have everything :|

 

[demolitio]

Uhhhh, there's this whole hell being unleashed thing that we need to fix first and Satan doesn't wait around for people to rest up...

I wish piracy was never an issue and the game industry was healthy. We can't have everything :|

All this ever does is stop people from playing early but does nothing to actual piracy. So really, the only people getting tortured are the paying customers while the pirates just wait around for cracks.

 

[Infinite_Daremo]

I was in game. Deleted my character though because im playing through with my friends when we all finish work.

 

[Data West]

So uh. Hey you guys.
